"Never has there been gr< iter need for education, kn

,i i n his Commencemenl address bo the class ol 1945, ■
Alumnae Hall, Sunday, May 20
Stressing the need for education
based on faith, wisdom, and truth.
itor Saltonstall pointed on; the
trous results of the German
educational lystem which lacks
ental principles pi
learning. "In this country," he
added in comparison, "only the
tremendous faith of our fathers in
the matchk-ss force of truth was
responsible for building our sys-
tem of education in the face of all
u.les."
Broader Learning Essential
Senator Saltonstall warned that
the technical emphasis, haste and
mass production of colleges in war
time tend to break away from
broader learning, a knowledge
which is essential to guide this
country through the years ol
Man's genius must be
turned from destruction to the
progress of mankind, he said, so
that in the future there may be
"better understanding among the
ordinary men and women of dif-
nt lands." . .
"Freedom of education is the key
to such understanding," said Sena-
tor Saltonstall, "and every man
and woman, in college and in tne
years ahead, has an important and
privileged part to play in the long
but constant advance to the day
when the mind of man can be com-

Parents Comply
In ODT Request
In accordance with the policy
of the War Committee on Conven-
tions of the Office of Defense
Transportation, Wellesley has for
the first time in its history re-
stricted attendance at Commence-
ment exercises. Miss Lucy Wilson,
Dean of the Class of 1945, an-
nounced to the Seniors in a special
meeting on April 27 that only 50
persons, from a distance of more
than 50 miles, were authorized to
travel to the college by railroad.
The purpose of the unprecedent-
ed restriction, Miss Wilson de-
clared in an explanatory letter to
parents of members of the gradu-
ating class, is to "prevent travel
by railroad in order to make cer-
tain that the wounded service men
may reach their destinations."
"The consequence of this action
by the ODT," the message con-
tinued, "is that Wellesley Com-
mencement will be held on the
basis of the local exemption au-
thorized by the War Committee on
Conventions." Under this exemp-
tion, no limit is placed upon the
attendance of those living within
a radius of 50 miles of the place
where the gathering is to be held.
Car, Bus Travel Permitted
Travel by car from regions be-
yond the 50-mile radius would be
unquestioned, inquiries made by
President McAfee indicated, al-
though this form of transporta-
tion would naturally be controlled
by gasoline rations. The use^ of
buses and airplanes would b<
a matter for the decision of
, .dividual wishing to mal.

letter concluded, "how eagerly you

WITH HONOR
Wellesley honors this vear two members of
the faculty who are retiring after many years
ni active service to the college. Both Miss
Louise S. McDowell, Professor of Physics, and
Miss Edith \V. Muse iciate Professor of
Speech, are well kin.wii authorities in their re-
Bpective fields and Welle- le\ I 'allege is proud
to have had both distinguished scholars on the
faculty.
Miss McDowell graduated from Wellesley in
1898 and received her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees
from Cornell, she returned to Wellesley as an
Instructor in Physics in 1909. During the last
Miss McDowell was an \ ti Ph] sicisl
in Research for the I nited Staies Signal Corps
in the Radio Section of the Bureau of Stand-
ards -in later returned to the Bureau of
Standards to hold the highesi ranking Civil
Service appointmenl ol anj woman physii

Beyond the Campus
by Mimi Ashton '46
Last week-end I went to the
Third National Convention of the
d States Student Assembly
delegate from the Wellesl«sy
College Forum. U.S.S.A. is a g
and run by Stud
which tries to stimulate student
thinking along lines of sound
political awasenesB and to work
in the community B , for-
sighted citizens.
o Uays of speech making
and dl -the represen-
tatives of twenty three collegef
Buoh as the .University of Chicago,
Harvard, Swathmore and Middle-
bury, — drew up a program of ac-
tion for the coming year to be used
on tliu campuses iiu'onghout the
United States. Thes tudents there
-ented a larger body of young
<ud women al over the country
Who fel that they have an impor-
tanl part to play in the post-war
world, and a direct contribution to
in helping formulate public
opinion. With the end of the Euro-
pean phase of the war we are al-
ready confronted with many
serious problems such as reconver-
sion, rehamiiltation of returning
servicemen, and perhaph most im-
portant — the drawing up of a peace
based on democratic principles.
Speaking on the "Means of
Political Pressure in 1945-1946,"
Paul Sixton, Director of the Wash-
ington Office of the Union For
Democratic Action, pointed out
that after winnig the peace, full
employment was the most impor-
tant issue confronting the people of
America. Opposition to the Full
Employment Bill of 1945 is already
being voiced by its opponents, the
bankers and industrialists, who
clair that its price is too high, and
that if the bill is passed we will
lose our freedom. But it is just this
totalitarianism of monopoly and
patent roots and opposition to labor
organization which is going to be
the make or break of the freedom
which we so deeply cherish. The
msibility for establishing a
sound economy with ful employ-
and a high standard of living
for all. lies with US, the Students
.if America. It is our job to become
familiar with pending legislation,
to decide what is good, and then to
make others feel the same way. On
us lies the responsibility for letting
• ly minded congressmen,
both state and federal, know what
we — the future voters — are think-
ing; of communicating with those
who are satisfied with seeing the
United tSates slip back into isola-
tionism and economic imperialism
an. I making them vote for the
measures which will, in the long
run, benefit the majority of
people. Citing the most important
measures now before Congress or
soon to be considered, Mr. Tilton,
said that students should concen-
trate on seeing that the fololwing
measures are passed: Breton
Woods, Renewal of the Reciprocal
Trade Agreements, Public Works,
Anti-Poll Tax, F.E.P.C., and Mis-
souri Valley Authority.
In the Sunday session Edward L.
Bernay, author of "Take Your
Place at the Peace Table," spoke on
"Publicity, Pressure, and Organi-
zation Techniques," giving us con-
crete information on how to tackle
the immense problems of student
action. He cautioned undergrad-
uates against trying to work on a
national scale. There are many es-
sential, though not glamorous jobs
in one's own communities which de-
mand intelligent workers, he said,
urging all who possibly could to
take these npsitions as a sort of
aprenticeship. It is only through
experience that, one may prepare
oneself for the more exciting po-
sitions of the future.

"After a certain grade of cul-
twre has been attained the belief
in luck appears. The fetish is a
mascot or object carried for luck."
— Encyclopedia Britannica.
In the spring of the year 1915
A.D., a certain grade of culture
was attained on the Wellesley
campus. The General, it was
called, and it brought forth more
fetishes than a mere Exam —
lower on the scale of culture — had
ever been known to evoke.
Five real Egyptian scarabs ap-
peared in the domains of Ec, Geo-
logy. Poli Sci, Zo. and Art. "Well
they can't do any harm, and
they're kind of cute " appeared to
be the concensus of opinion of Rae
Hall. Jean Sunderlin, Sid Burke,
"Tig" Groot, and Crit Curtis, who
carried the tiny green beetle-
shaped charms. No one could
translate the symbols on the
backs. An unabridged dictionary
s-uggested "Bubastis grant a good
New Year" and "May thy name
endure and a son be born thee."
A necessarily limited circle re-
lied on the potent magic of Phi
Bete keys. Marjorie Lent bor-
rowed her fiance's for the occasion,
while Jean Rubin traded with
"Inky" Kojassar and clutched a
few four-leaf clovers for good
measure.
Jeans, Cap and Gown
Certain more or less significant
ceremonial robes were also in evi-
dence. Math major Margaret
Stanley, addict of comfort, topped
a pair of blue jeans with her
brother's 1940 Princeton Reunion
shirt. Guite Tatum arrived at the
French "quiz" in cap and gown,

Portland Sees
Christening of
Wellesley Ship
The U.S.S. "Wellesley Victory."
a Liberty ship built for the Mari-
time Commission, was launched on
March 16 at the Oregon Shipbuild-
ing Corporation. The "Wellesley
Victory," painted battleship grey,
carries a cargo of 10,500 tons.
Twenty-one members of the
Portland Wellesley Club were
present at the ceremony, which
began at 1:00 p.m. As the flag
was raised, a male quartet sang
the National Anthem. Mr. Rob-
ert Porter, who was in charge of
the construction of the ship, spoke
and thanked the men for their
loyal and faithful work.
Miss McAfee's Message
Miss Grace Townsend '96, Pres-
ident of the Wellesley Club, also
spoke to the thousands of ship-
yard workers, telling them of the
founding of the College, of its
purpose and of the significance
of its motto, "Non Ministrari Sed
Ministrare." She read a telegram
from Captain McAfee which con-
tained the following message:
"Wellesley College takes great
satisfaction in your choice of this
name for your latest Victory ship.
We are sure that this latest prod-
uct of the skill and efficiency of
the Oregon Shipbuilding Corpora-
tion will do more than its share
to bring the victory; and Welles-
ley is proud to have its name asso-
ciated with that task."
Just before the ship was launch-
ed, Reverend Lansing Kempton
offered a prayer for the officers
and crew of the "Wellesley Vic-
tory," and asked that the ship
might help to bring Allied victory
and the justice of God to the
world.
"I christen thee 'Wellesley Vic-
tory'," said Mrs. Robert Porter,
the sponsor, as she broke a bottle
of champagne across the bow of
the ship. The moorings were cut,
and the ship slid smoothly down
the ways into the river.
The "Wellesley Victory" is not
the first ship to bear the name
of the college, however. In No-
vember, 1943, the "Wellesley," a
tanker, was commissioned at the
Bethlehem-Sparrows Shipyard. It
ill in operation and is owned
by the Socony Vacuum Oil Com-
pany.

"The Muses Weep" Goes to Press
In Lower Level Printing Shop
by Barbara Coniu
Room E in the basement of the
Library has a second name prob-
ably unfamiliar to those who as-
sociate the basement primarily
with the Biblical History or Mod-
ern Language rooms. Edith Ky-
nor and Eleanor Herz '45 have
christened the room the Lower
Level Printing Shop. "We're not
sure they'll make it official," laugh-
ed "Lee," "but we like it." She
and Edie have worked in Room
E every Thursday afternoon since
last November, printing their own
as on a printing press similar
to an old one used by Benjamin
Franklin.
It was after they had jointly
won the Junior Library Prize that
Edie and Lee became acquainted
with Miss Hannah O. French,
whose specialty is Book Art
conceived the idea of printing
eighteen copies of a volume of
their own poems. Other students
have used the press, under the
direction of Miss French, but <
of them have confined themselves
to making book plates and other
small cards.
Only One "Pie"
Lee and Edie have found that
printing is a "long and painstak-
ing job." "It isn't something you
dash off over night," Miss French
added. Each letter must be set
in place by hand. The paper must
be arranged in exactly the right
position so that the quarto will
be correctly printed. A little too
much pressure means that one
page will be printed darker than
another and the four pages which
are printed at once must be done
over. The amateur printers are
quite proud of the fact, however,
that they have so far made only
one "pi." (A pi is a disaster
which occurs when one letter be-
comes loose while the type is be-
ing transferred to the press, caus-
ing an entire quarto to collapse
suddenly in a jumbled mass!)
The paper on which Lee and
Edie are printing their poems is
especially interesting, for it was
hand made in Fabriano, Italy, by

College Marks Victory
In European War With
Solemn Chapel Service
A V-E Day service was held in
Houghton Memorial Chapel on
May 8 at 7:30 p. m. in honor of the
termination of hostilities in the
European theatre of war. The
theme of the service was one of ser-
ious meditation and thanksgiving.
Following the call to worship,
delivered by Dean Lucy Wilson, the
National Anthem was sung_by the
congregation. The Wellesley Col-
lege Choir, under the direction of
Margaret MacDonald, sang a chor-
al antiphon of praise, Bless the
Lord, O My Soul.
Dr. Paul Lehmann, Professor of
Biblical History at Wellesley Col-
lege, led the congregation in a
litany of thanksgiving and peni-
tence, which was followed by a uni-
son prayer. Dean Wilson lead
passages from the Scriptures
which were suitable to the occa-
sion.
AfJter a litany of intercession, led
by Dr. Lehmann. a meditation was
delivered by Miss Virginia Onder-
donk, Professor of Philosophy.
Miss Onderdonk stressed the need
for repentence on the part of the
American people, lest they feel that
they have gone guiltless to victory.
Barbara WhLtmore, '45, former
President of War Activities gave
an address, concerning Wellesley's
contribution to the war effort. She
emphasized the necessity of further
contribution in every way possible
for the duration of the war with
Japan.
After a prayer for the coming of
peace with justice, the Choir sang
a concluding choral antiphon of as-
surance, Lord God, Thou Art Our

"Hotel Berlin"
Has Good Idea
But Thin Plot
"Hotel Berlin" is a new kind of
la film, for it depicts the
Berlin of 1945 where the Nazis,
though beaten, are determined to
carry on their activities after the
Though the basic idea is ex-
cellent, the plot is disconnected
and not forceful enough to con-
vey it as well as il should, nor
, on the whole, con-
tribute much.
Helmut Dantine Stars
The story takes place in a large
hotel, the scene of both Nazi
underground activities. Helmut
Dantine plays a young anti-Nazi,
Martin Richter, who has ju-
caped from Dachau and, disguised
as a waiter, seeks refuge from
the Gestapo who have ah
d him to the hotel. He is
helped by Lisa Doern, a selfish
actress played by Faye Emerson.
Raymond Massey plays a Nazi
staff officer, who. seeing the turn
of affairs, has made an attempt
on Hitler's life, for he it con-
vinced that by getting rid of the
present Nazi chiefs Germany
would have a better chance for
her rights at the peace table. The
film ends on a pessimistic note,
with the Nazi officers making
plans to go to Argentina and then
to the States, disguised as anti-
Nazi refugees, and to continue
their activities thus.
Weak Plot
The film has definite possibil-
ities for conveying the feelings of
a conquered but unbroken Ger-
manv, but it fails by reason of
its weak plot. It i3 too episodic,
and is in too much need of a
continued theme, to express the
threat to America effectively.
Though each sequence is exciting
self, because of the lack of
continuity, suspense is not main-
tained throughout the picture.
Acting Mediocre
The acting is very ordinary,
save for Raymond Massey, who
as usual gives an excellent per-
formance. His interpretation of a
man who has the highest ideals
for Germany, but who sees them
abused first by Hitler's failures
an.l then by the Nazi Party in
destroying idealists like himself,
is sensitively and convincingly
done. Even in the final blow of
being abandoned in his last mo-
ments by the woman he loves, he
maintains his courage and fierce
devotion to an ideal Germany.
Helmut Dantine has only his looks
to his credit, for his acting is
completely wooden. Faye Emer-
son does a passable job, without
much inspiration, while Andrea
King is similarly colorless in the
role of a disillusioned girl who
eventually forgets herself to fight
for the cause of the Underground.
Lacks Imaginative Touch
It seems a p'.ty for such a po-
tent idea as that of the determin-
ation of the Nazis to continue
their work, to be given such a
poor vehicle. The film has none
of the imaginative touch in direc-

Job Seeks Explanation
Job and his wife are testing at
the oasis when they catch
of God, caught momentarily in his
burning bush. God seizes the op-
portunity to make amends to the
eternal sufferer, excusing Himself
on the grounds that reason can
find no connection between what
men do and what they must en-
dure. He thanks Job for helping
him to prove this. But Job re-
fuses to Ix.* put off so easily. He
is sure there must be some pat-
tern to the universe. The
in him cries out for design. Job's
wife, as a moral human being,
wants to know a reasonable pur-
pose for Job's suffering. In the
end both must be satisfied with
God's reply that he was just show-
ing off to the Devil. Job an-
swers:
■Twas human of you. I expect-
ed more
Than I could understand and
